I don't know if this is going to be successful, but... I bought a used time
clock from e-bay for $9.99 (of course, add another $20 for shipping), and
bought a pack of 250 time cards for $6.29 (Office Max). I will simply
"issue" 5 or so time cards to each teacher with their name on it,
replaceable as necessary. I may number them 1 through 5 for each teacher so
a student will know which one they have at that time. Then, students will
bring one with them when they come, clock in upon arrival & clock out upon
leaving. This gives me an idea of how long they are in the media center, &
the teacher gets an idea of how much time passed between classroom & media
center. I had a great idea of using some old card pockets to "keep" the
cards in while the kids are here, but they are too narrow. Still have to
solve this problem!
